Teenage Dream 8

GUESS WHO'S BACK?

I am so so so sorry for not posting anything these past months! I finally found the folder! I just have to rewrite a few pages again :') you guys have no clue how awesome it feels to be back! Anyways I wanted to ask your suggestions about the title, stick to Teenage Dream or change it to Teenage Crime? and now onto the new chapter:D

_______________________________________________________________________

Two morning’s later, we met each other in the airport at 10 p.m. Being an only child traveling was never THAT fun because I had no one my age with me. Now? My best friends are with me.. Well half of them! I tried convincing Kady the night before but she didn’t budge; one I hated the fact that I was leaving her here alone and second she wasn’t gonna be here at my birthday which sucked.

When I was younger, the day before my birthday, someone we were close to passes away. It was my grandfather on my 7^th, my mom’s best friend on my 10^th, my dad’s aunt on my 12^th and so on. So I learned to never appreciate it. Birthdays suck and ever since the last two years my friends tried to make my birthdays unforgettable which they amazingly did. I don’t know it felt weird not having Kady around.

When we got in the plane, we all started to sit in our assigned seats. My parents together, behind them were Sara’s parents and two rows behind Bader and Sara sat AND I was just three rows behind them sitting with one of the most beautiful British man I have ever seen. He sat in the aisle seat and my seat was the window so the situation was a wee bit awkward.

“Hey, im sorry but..”

“Is that your seat?”

“Yeah”

“Oh im sorry” He gave me a sweet smile and got up to make it easier for me to go in.

“Its okay, awe thank you”

“Its no problem”

After sitting down and getting myself comfortable, I noticed the dude was trying to hold in his laughter in. I cocked my eyebrow at him and he nodded his heard towards the stewardess standing right in front of us. It took me a while but I finally saw it, her shirt was ridden up so high I swear her underwear KILA yibayin. I looked at the guy and we started laughing our asses off. Every time we calm down, one of remembers and laughs again which causes the other person to laugh. Finally after a short while, we pulled ourselves together, introduced ourselves (isma Jesse) and started small talking.

“Are you going to London alone?”

“No, I’m with my family and friends... speaking of..” I pointed at Bader who was getting up from his seat with his back to the aisle. That was stupid move because as he walked back he hit the stewardess who dropped the food in her hands. He kept apologizing and helped her pick up the food frantically, obviously freaking out. I laughed at his nervous state.

“I’m guessing he’s one of your friends?”

“Haha proud to say he is” He laughed and looked at Bader who was now coming towards us with a freaked out face.

“Im glad my suffering amuses you”

“Haha you love me”

“Sure I do”

“What are you doing back here?”

“What? Can’t a grown man visit his best friend?”

“A grown man would never say best friend and darling it’s been 20 minutes since the plane has taken off”

Jesse laughed at our bickering.

“Oh, Bader Jesse, Jesse Bader”

They said their hellos and started talking about stupid business crap so I blocked them out. Somehow I found myself staring at Bader. I stared at the way his lips moves when he speaks and how when he laughs his eyes wrinkle in the sides. The way when he speaks with a person, he’s giving them their undivided attention. The way he likes to move his hands or puts one of his hands on his chest when he says something he’s really passionate about.

“Take a picture it’ll last longer”

“Asshole haha tana7t”

He was about to say something when the stewardess came behind him and asked him to take his seat because the seat belt sign was on which he did. After seeing that Bader was in his seat Jesse turned to me and told me something that really caught me off guard.

“Are you guys together?”

“What??”

“You’re in love with him, I mean you look like you are” he told me in a matter to fact voice.

“Oh no no no no no no no no.. Noo haha no no no uhh no?”

“So I’m guessing no?”

“No, wait no I mean yeah.. I…”

“You?”

“No, hes my best friend. I love him but I’m not in love with him”

“Why don’t you look certain saying that?”

“He’s my best friend”

“That doesn’t mean you cant fall in love with him”

“I… I’m not”

“Why?”

“My religion and that fact that it’s Bader”

“You never know..”

We both sat there quietly; me lost in my own thoughts him laughing at me serious face.

“So wanna change the subject?”

“Haha yes please”

We talked for hours. He’s 24, an architect but aspiring musician. Loves to read and mountain climb; has a girlfriend back in London who’s waiting for him to finish work so they can travel the world together. All in all, he was a pretty rad guy. It was around one when my eyes started getting droopy so Jesse told me to sleep. Yet I was always the kind of person who doesn’t sleep on planes so I just rested my head on the window with my eyes closed. I heard someone come next to me, I was gonna open my eyes when I heard Bader’s voice.

“Is she asleep?”

“Yeah man she is”

Then I heard nothing, I thought he left but I heard Jesse clear his throat and say, “dude you’re whipped”

“Nahh it isn’t that bad”

“Mmhmm”

“Haha shut up”

“Are you gonna do anything about it?”

“Nope”

“Why not?”

“Too soon I guess”

HAHAHAHA I had no clue what they were saying and for some reason that is hilriouuuus. I felt someone sit on the floor in front of us (we had a lot of space) and I peeked through one eye and it was Bader. I accidently smiled WHICH got me caught. Bader laughed, got up, kissed my forehead and started tickling me lama gal bess. I diiieeedddddd!!! I tired my best not to laugh out loud so the other passengers wouldn’t wake up but I couldn’t help it! After the torture was finally done, I punched Bader.

“Dude, what the hell was that?”

“HAHAHAHAHA”

“I hate yooouu :)”

“Lie”

I just shook my head and blushed a little at his stare.

“So Jesse, you sing?”

“Oh yeah man, mostly alternative..”

“You know Mezna can sing..”

“Shut itttt Bader!!”

“You can sing?”

“A little bit, not really good though..”

“She’s being modest, she’s amazing”

“What about you? Your voice is incredible!”

“You can both sing?.. I think its safe to say that I have never met anyone like you both…”

We laughed and talked about music and how much Bader and I loved it and Jesse talked about some shows he’s done in the past. Before we know it the seatbelt sign was on and Bader had to go back to his seat. We sat there in silence as the plane went down. He got up took his bag down and handed me mine.

“You know you and Bader should come to one of my shows, we have one next week. I want you guys to meet Anna.. I know she’ll love you guys”

“Yeah for sure, you have my number, text me the date and time.. We’ll be there”

He gave me a hug and waved at Bader who was standing 20 feet away with the family and left. I walked over to the family.

“Ya7laila he invited us to one of his shows..”

“Ohhh ohhh Meznaaaa’s in love”

I stared at Bader with the straightest face. He cleared his throat and I just punched him in the arm and walked towards our parents who were all laughing.

Hey everyone!

I know I promised posts this summer but guess what the idiotic, imprudent S did? I spilt tea all over my laptop. But that isn't the annoying part. The annoying part is that my laptop is fine except for the trackpad which I got fixed not before I put all my documents into a file and locked it and hid it in a random folder. When I got it back all was well until I literally lost the folder, I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE! It's killing me and I'm dying to write and post but it just disappeared but I am still determined to find it not only for but also for my sanity. Hope this explains my lack of kickass posts. Sorry you guuys!

Hey everyone!

I am so so sorry for my lack of posts in the past month. I've always thought that I'd be the type of blogger to post like 3 times a week but I honestly have no time; I honestly have a newfound sympathy to all the bloggers who are pressured to blog every hour. You many not know this but I'm in high school, and the month of May has been absolute rape what with finals and end of the year marks to put in. I want to wait a few more weeks and post a somewhat good blog rather than mindless bullshit that I'd regret later. I'll hopefully post something within these two weeks. Sorrryy again!

Teenage Dream 7

Sorry it's been a while! Life's been a bit too hectic! _______________________________________________

After that day at Sara and Bader’s it became a ritual. Go home. Do homework. Go to their house.

I was closer with them than ever. Especially Bader. It became the point where I have to stay more than 5 hours a day or something or I.. I don’t know I’ve never tried being away from him that much. I know, intense. Honestly, I had the time of my life with them even though all we do it talk and play. We were so comfortable with each other and knew each other so well that by the fifth month being that close we began finishing each other sentences. He was the big brother I never had. My friends kila yi6afrooni and tell me how perfect we are with each other but I guess the idea of him being my “older brother” stuck. And by that fifth month, I knew everything about him down to the kind of underwear he uses (weird conversation that was…), the fact that we both loved karaoke and also our deep love for alternative music.

Today was the last mid-term of this year; I walked in our house so smiley and happy because it was easy AND winter break’s finally here. I was about to walk in my room when my phone beeped.. I saw it and it was from Twitter indicating that someone mentioned me.

@Bader12: @MeznaAl KIDDD! Did you hear the news?

@MeznaAL: @Bader12 Nopppeee! Whats going onnnn?

@Bader12: @MeznaAL: Go find your parents then come over :D

I did as I was told. I walked in the living room and kissed my parents forehead.

“Haaa shisalfaa?”

“Ukhh mamidaaccchh yaya tis2ileeeen!”

“Baba!!!”

“Inzain inzain haha, binsafir landan this winter break!”

“9IJ BABA!!!! AHHHH!!! Ya3nee bakoon ib landan on my birthday!!”

“Eeee 7abeebty”

“Bess laish Bader mishta6?”

“That’s the other best part”

“Shinu?”

“Their family is coming with us”

“YAAAAY WANASAAA!!! Thank you babbaaaa”

“Yallaaa roo7ay 3induhom”

“Thank youuuu”

Couldn’t believe it! Kint a7in 7ag London min bidayat il sina and now we’re finally going! WITH MY BEST FRIENDS!

“MEZNAA KALBA”

“Hahaha hawwww shsawaaait!”

“Laish matdegeeeeen tiseleeeeeeeen?”

“Kady 7abeebti intay tawni shayfitich bil madrisa..”

“Haha fine! Whats the news Bader was talking about on twitter?”

“Yal stalker”

“Chub… Abi a3arif what the beautiful couple are saying”

“Cham mara agoolich! STOP CALLING US THAT”

“Well you guys are beautiful together… Even though you’re not together haha”

“Chubbbb!”

“Kafich.. don’t come to me in a few months telling me how much you love him cause I’ve been telling you for MONTHS now!”

“Metaphorically, METAPHORICALLY! If I like him IFFFF!!! Whats good that gonna do? Ill be depressed over the fact that we both will never be together.. SO WHAT GOOD IS THAT GONNA DO?”

“This is all metaphorical right?”

“Kadyyy”

“Fine fine! Inzain whats the news?”

“Binsafir! Kilnaaa!!”

“As in you, Sara, Bader and the parentals? WHAT GIVESSSSS!!”

“I KNOOOOWW!!! Kady laish matiyeen ma3ana?”

“Ta7lifeen? T3rfeen my parents law shinuuuu!”

“Cant you trryyyy?”

“Mezna… haha chub:) wainicchh?”

“I’m going over there now”

“Hahaha saaayyy hi to lovvvaaaa booyyyyy!! OH LETS DO DINNER TOMORROW”

“Bader and I are friends.. nothing more and okaaay!”

“Mmmhmmm ok byeeee see you lovvvee!!”

“Byeee”

I closed the phone, quickly ran to my room, changed my clothes and started walking over to Sara and Bader’s house.

@Bader12: @MeznaAl: get your ass dowwwnn here woman!

@MeznaAl: @Bader12: I’m walking over right noowwwww! 2 minutes!”

@SaraAl: @MeznaAl: YALLLA @Bader12’s KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god he started singing.. Get your stupid tanned ass here”

@Bader12: Oh my god @MeznaAl is finally here… ALL IS GOOD IN THE WORLD!

@MeznaAl: @Bader12: Stop exaggerating I was half an hour late hahaha

@Bader12: @MeznaAl: Whatever…

“Did they tell you? Did they tell youuu?”

“Did I ever tell you how annoying you are?”

“Yeah but you love me anyways:)”

“Yeah you wish.. Haha yeah they did tell me!!!! IM SO FREAKIN EXCITED!” I yelled then punched his arm. The he have me one of his favorite looks.. the “wtf man?” look. Hahahaha hilarious!

“Dude? Whaaaaah?”

“HAHHAHAHA oh my god hahaha im dying”

“DUDE FINALLY! I thought he was gonna go insane!”

“Ullaa ullaa shd3waa!”

“I missed my girlfrienddddddd” I froze.

“What did you just call me?”

“Uhh what?”

“Did you just say girlfriend?” I’d be lying to say that my heart wasn’t skipping beats. Wtf? Wtf? Wtf? Whats going on?

“Oh you know.. a friend who's a girl..? Wow I do not pull of ghetto talk do I?”

“haha,” I laughed nervously, “you don’t at all”

After that tiny awkward moment, we want to Sara and Bader’s parents and just hung out with them talking about the trip and how excited we were. I was talking animatedly to 3ami Jasim when I realized Sara and Bader weren’t in the room anymore, I excused myself and left the room and headed towards Sara’s room when I saw Sara whispering to Bader with a stern look on her face and he just look down with a sad smile.

I hid beside the door but I couldn’t hear what they were saying but all I did hear from Sara was, “you’re both idiots, maybe that’s why you're also perfect for each other, c’mere” they she hugged him and they started walking towards me. Shit. I have to hide. Dammmiittt!! OOOHH THE PLANT! I hid behind the huge plant and all I can think about this moment is how awkward I must look. This is awesome.

Teenage Dream 6

Long post today:D

It's a filler and I know mako "drama" but I wanted you to slowly see how their friendship progresses in time. Hope you like it! Comment comment commennntt:D

_________________________________________________

The next few weeks were very uneventful. I missed Tala like crazy, couldn’t stop crying when we took her to the airport. She loved it there and apparently the guys were all beautiful. Lucky bitch hahaha. Kady, Sara and I spent most of our time together going out or at each other’s houses.

It’s now Tuesday and I just came back from a long, exhausting day at school. I walked in the living room and kissed my parents foreheads.

“Ha baba, shlon ilmadrisa?”

“Good, nothings changed”

“Your grades?”
“Still the same”

He gave me a proud smile and nodded his head in approval. This is what I lived for, making my dad proud. We kept talking about random things when my phone rang. It was Sara.

“Allloooo”

“Mazzzooonnn!!! IM BORED!!!! COME OVER”

“Haha awal shay stop screaming, wait lemme ask my parents,” I turned to my parents and asked them if I could go.

“3indich homework?”

“I finished it at school”

“Ok khalas go have fun. Be home by 10”

“Ok thank you!”

I quickly got dressed in jeans and a fitted t-shirt and left the house. We live in the same man6aqa, just six houses away from mine so I walk over there every time I went over. I called her informing her that I was outside and she told me to come through the kitchen. I walked in the living room to find her parents sitting on the couch.

“Hala khalty, 3ami”

“Ukh mazoona zayratna, il bait nawar” Not to sound obnoxious but Sara’s parents always loved me like a second daughter. Her dad and I are pretty tight and I really do consider him as a second dad.

“Haha mashkoor 3ami biwjoudik, wain Sara?”

“ib dar Bader”

“Mashkoora,” I smiled and waved them goodbye and headed towards Bader’s room. I can hear grunts and screams from the inside and I was honestly too scared to open it but I did anyways. I walked in to find Sara on top of Bader pulling his hair and Bader trying to roll on the floor wanting to grasp free.

“Wakhray 3aani! I wont give it to you!”

“You promised ya7mar give it!!!”

“Lat chathbeeen! Giltlich itha mabi a36eech.. Bess abi!”

I was trying to figure out what she wanted from him when I saw a bag of gummy bears under Bader’s hand. Gummy bears? Seriously? I then saw actual tears of frustration come out of Sara’s eyes fa ba6aitha thi7ik!! Al7een I had tears in my eyes!! They both turned to me with wide eyes (which made me laugh even more) and untangled from each other. They both stood up, side to side, trying to act like nothing happened but I saw Sara’s sneaky punch and Bader’s “ooff”.

"Bader, hand me the gummy bears.."

"I don't want to" he told me in a whisper.

"Bader, give me the gummy bears or will I have to force them out of you?"

His face said it all, he had a look of determination on it, like he was surely gonna win, so without thinking I ran and jumped on top of him.

This sudden movement startled him so he fell on his back and I on his chest. We paused for a millisecond trying to register what happened, but then continued to roll around the room pulling each other’s hair and punching each other’s stomach. Yes, Bader and I.

After a few hundred bruises, Sara (who by the way had the gummy bears the whole time (I thought he had the gummy bears and he thought I had them) and was looking at us) finally decided to separate us. We laughed for over 5 minutes straight.

After an hour, we were still in our laughing state. Bader and I were playing C.O.D with so much intensity; it hurt looking away from the screen.

“Minu 3inda il sa3a?”

“It’s almost 5 sh3indich?”

She opened her eyes wide and got up and started running out of the room. “5arraaaaa! My tutor biyii ay degeeegaaa!! ROSE MY TUUUTOOORRR..” then her voice faded away indicating that she was already downstairs.

Bader turned to me and gave me one of those beautiful smiles and asked, “So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?”

“More call of duty?”

“Hell yeaaaahh”

And that’s what we did, all day. He was hilarious, at one point I had to pause the game to recover from my laughter. AND he calls me “kid” for some reason I don’t understand.

Anyways, it was now around 9 and we were now sprawled down on the floor with BAGS of licorice all around us laughing at a joke he just read. We lay down on our backs with our bodies close to each other just staring at the ceiling.

“You wanna know something kid?” I turned my head sideways and gave him a smile, “I haven’t laughed this much in a while”

I didn’t know what to say, I wasn’t the emotional type so I closed his eyes with my hands and quietly sat on his stomach laughing.

“NOOOOO GET OFF OF ME!”

“Say the magiiccc worrrddddd”

“Pleaaaasee”

“Noooo the OTHER magic worddd”

“What magic wordddd??”

“Oh you know it;)”

“7illfaayyy! Waaay inzain! Mara7 akhalis lay bacher”

“Hahaha yalla im waiting”

“Fessenhaffer Hasenfeffer Bellybutton Engledink Humplebur”

“See that wasn’t so hard”

I got up and went to sit on his beanbag and he just looked at me with these confused eyes.

“Where the hell do you come up with this stuff?”

“Barney”

“Insane”

We sat there playing, but not talking. It was comfortable silence. It was nice. My phone beeped so I went to my bag and got my phone out but the strap held on to my phones chain and the contents fell out. Crap. Bader laughed and got up to help me.

“Why do you need all this crap with you?”

“You never know when you may need it!”

“Haha yeah ok… Whats this?” he grabbed my notebook that had doodles on the front.

“No no no Bader please give that back”

“Why? Hahaha” he got up and held the notebook over his head, he was much taller than I was and even jumping didn’t help so I begged.

“Please Bader, it’s personal pleaaaaseee”

“I wanna see” then he opened the notebook. Waaayy fashla!!

“Oh my god Mezna”

“I know I know its bad” I tried getting the notebook from him but he held me back.

“Bad? Mezna this is beautiful”

“It is?” I gave him a defeated look.

“Yeah, Sara never told me that you are an artist,” he told me in amazement.

“Its because she doesn’t know.. No one does”

“These are good, they are all good”

“Thanks that means a lot, now will you give me my notebook?”

He smiled and gave me my notebook and I shoved it in my bag.

“Why don’t you major in art?”

“My dad doesn’t want an art major, he wants a lawyer”

“But what do you want?”

“That doesn’t matter. Do you mind if we keep this to ourselves and never mention it again?” He gave me a sad smile and shrugged.

“Only if you want to”

It was awkward for a few moments after it but we then acted like it never happened.
